Terrorists using technology to harm society: Jaishankar

The Hindu  

Terrorism is still one of the “gravest threats” to humanity, said External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, on the concluding day of the United Nations Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee’s special meeting in India that sought to focus on the misuse of emerging technologies by terrorist groups. Mr. Jaishankar’s statement came a day after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had referred to India-U.S. joint efforts to designate several Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists through the UN’s 1267 sanctions committee, and in a message aimed at China for placing a hold on five such nominations in the past few months, said at the conference, “no nation should stand in the way”. The 35-para “Delhi Declaration” focused on the threat from Unmanned Aerial Systems including drones, online radicalisation and recruitment as well as terrorist financing through cryptocurrencies and other virtual means, with members noting “with additional concern the increasing global misuse of unmanned aerial systems by terrorists to conduct attacks against, and incursions into critical infrastructure and soft targets or public places, and to traffic drugs and arms.” In particular, the CTC members referred to attacks in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, as well as cross-border drone activity into India. Mr. Jaishankar said that new and emerging technologies had enhanced capabilities of terror groups, “particularly in open and liberal societies”.
